Visited For Neck Pain
I visited the clinic for my neck and shoulder pain. The appointment with Dr went well and he asked for taking up physiotherapy for 15 days.
The staff who provides physiotherapy is not at all well trained and I didn't like it from day one. This was my first time ever for any physiotherapy and I was expecting it to provide me some relief! But!!
On the first day, "Maushi" started the SWD treatment for me! I was just amazed and shocked that they don't have well trained staff to take care of this. Later on a nurse came and she did fine.
Nevertheless, I thought to give a second chance and it was even worse. The nurse [some other one this time] put IFT on a very high wave and I jumped out of bed! It was then, I decided NOT to continue the therapy there. She later turned the SWD on a very high heat and I was kind of burning !!
It was a mere waste of money for 2 days and I decided to get it done somewhere else. I hope the doc pays attention to the staff as well. The nurses/support staff are not at all humble and are doing their job just for the sake of doing!
Quite Unhappy with the physiotherapy and I hope my review doesn't go in vain and the staff is trained well!

Amazing doctor who performed a tendon repair surgery on my right index finger in 2014 *** ****** ** **** ********* ********* ** ** ***** ******** ************ ***** *** ***** * ***** ***** ** ** **** *** ********** *** ********* ** ***** ******* the general ambience of the clinic needs some improvement, which is just a minor issue. Overall, the doctor is quite friendly and gets right down to explaining the problem quite well.
Would surely recommend.
Also, the fee structure is pretty decent even though slightly expensive overall, yet quite proportional to rates in other hospitals so no big issue there
Visited For Knee Pain

It was nice and doctor was also very polite *** ***** ****** **** ********* ***** *** ***** * though can not say right now about the treatment he gave and will pass on the feedback only after taking the medicine and his advice.
my request/advice (to govt) not to charge the 2% when paying by Card, I think government should make the transaction free,
Visited For Hand Pain
- No point in taking prior appointment, as clinic works on first come first serve basis.
- It appear very money minded operation s there.
- As per Practo, his consulting fee is Rs 300, but we were charges 350. On asking we were told that Rs 50 is extra as file charges. But same was never mentioned on any of his receipts.
- For normal elbow pain, he asked us to get two x-ray done, 1 for wrist and other for elbow. In his clinic it costs us Rs. 1200.
- Then after examining those x-rays reports he told that there is ligament rupture. He gave us two options 1st come daily for 12 weeks for physiotherapy ( on his clinic only as he hot some expansive machines which is not available anywhere else in Pune
First of all charges are too high. 700 for an X-ray. Then staff member asked money from me for making my X-ray and asked me not to tell doctor. The Doctor gave so many pain killers *** **** *** ** *** *** ***** ***** *** ********
I also came to know from 2 of my friends who consulted the same doctor that they were also not satisfied with the treatment.
I went to this doctor because of Practo ratings. Please don't consider such ratings and kindly inquire properly about doctors before visiting them.

Visited For Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I had visited him after i got injured by an accident and i had rotation cup tear in my arm. Everyone suggested for quick surgery but Mr. Lateker suggested me to do physiotherapy for a month first and ask me to have patience. Initially i got irritated by the long time to heal but finally i found its working and after 1 month i recovered from the injury. And his theorapy cost was minimal as compared to these big named hospitals. Thank you sir for your advice and well treatment.
The Doctor was good. I got to see Doc real Quick , which is Good.
How ever i was asked to get an 6 x rays done which i didnt mind and i did go ahead and got my x rays done by Docs in house X ray plant. However to my astonishment Doc Only saw 2 of my X Rays, to diagnose a perception.
Why get 4 other x rays done if 2 are sufficient for doctor to understand the situation ?
Very nice and knowledgeable well read doctor. I have benefitted immensely from his treatment. He had operated on my knee 20 years back and it is still doing fine without any problems. I will recommend Dr latkar to all patients of knee pain and backache.
